How her approaches work in online sessions
Kaneesha uses cognitive behavioral approaches and client-centered methods that translate well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, or sleep issues. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the person’s perspective, using active listening and reflective conversation to clarify goals and motivations.She also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and track progress. Together these approaches help shape practical steps and measurable goals. Deciding which methods to use is collaborative; the therapist and client review needs, preferences, and early results and adjust the plan as they go.
The biography does not list specific session delivery formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time. It can also let people choose whether to use video or audio based on what suits them that day. Kaneesha will discuss which format and pace match a client's goals during the first scheduling steps.
